Summary: For me.... a true MASTERPIECE !!!!
Review: This one is one of my favorite Sandler movies EVER. Possibly one of the best I've seen too. I don't understand why people don't like this one. It is hilarious, full of surprises and very, very CRAZY.
Only this movie will be enough for you to make you pee on your couch. Nicholson's performance is just...DYNAMITE..... this one proofs that Jack Nicholson can really make comedy films. I love this one as much as "Billy Madison" or "Happy Gilmore".
Terrific! But not only Nicholson's performance is fantastic, Sandler was also too much on this one. Great performance and the first movie I've seen with Sandler in which he is not a maniac and a crazy guy.
Go watch this one. You will not regret the 1 1/2 hours of pure entertainment this movie provides.

Summary: Another Good Effort From Adam Sandler
Review: I enjoyed this movie quite a bit; however, you have to have your expectations properly set. This movie does not pretend to be believable, and that is not the point. The point is for people to laugh and enjoy watching it. Sandler plays a character for whom Murphy's Law seems to have been written. He's not very assertive, and this adds to his problems. Nicholson plays a very over the top anger management therapist. Many of the funny moments in the movie come as a direct result of this such as the one where he pulls a gun on a group of Buddhist monks only for it to be a watergun. There are many laughs throughout the movie so settle into your easy chair and enjoy.

The special features are better than what I've seen on some of the older Sandler movies. The two featurettes are both entertaining, and the deleted scenes are pretty close to production quality - no poor sound or picture as in the special editions of Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. The blooper reel is pretty funny, and it is capped off with a number of failed takes on Heather Graham's cupcake scene. The extras make this an overall solid DVD.

Summary: middling yet fun Sandler comedy
Review: Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler) has a problem, and he's had it for years. Not a guy who loses his temper, Dave nevertheless is a walking time-bomb of repressed rage. Whether a childhood target for bullies or simply one of those men who joins the long-gray line of beaten-down adulthood, Dave is essentially an android who never says or otherwise expresses what's on his mind. As an adult, he works for a company that sells expensive pet supplies for the moneyed pet owners (his big idea involves weight-concealing clothes for obese cats). His one bright spot is Linda (Marisa Tomei). Coming from a better background, and chafing against Dave's inability to show affection (or anything else) Linda's feelings for Dave are a miracle.

On the verge of losing out on a promising new position, and while enroute to a business meeting in St Louis, Dave is arrested for "air rage" (the flick opened about 18 months after 9/11, and feels that the heightened sensitivities of airline workers is now stand-up material). Convicted of assaulting a flight attendant (don't ask), Dave is sentenced to anger management classes. Unfortunately, his counselor is Buddy Rydell, a cheerful psychotic specialist in anger management played by Jack Nicholson. Overflowing with bromides on rage control ("Temper's the one thing you can't get rid of, by losing it"), Buddy is a bit of a ticking bomb himself. At first grouped with Buddy's other rage-challenged clients (including John Turtorro as an army vet suffering post-traumatic stress from Grenada), Dave is sentenced to a more intense regimen once he gets waylaid on another disastrous encounter in a bar (don't ask!) Now forced to endure Buddy everywhere he goes, Dave must re-examine his life on a daily basis and confront every possible source of his anger - childhood bullies now grown, his abusive boss, his sexual insecurities (the film has a recurring obsession with male anatomy) and his fear of losing Linda.

"Anger Management" has its share of surprises, but not many. It's the latest in a long-line of movies starring Sandler as a hopeless loser who must undergo a painful or embarrassing transformation if he's to find love. Nicholson and Sandler work together better than the script deserves, and the flick works a fine line without having them become great friends or enemies at each others throats. It's not a great movie, but it's actually a good rental, one of those movies that you'd hate if you had to pay for tickets to see it.

Review: Like taking a cheese grater to your nether-regions, this movie is unthinkably painful to watch.

If you're foolish enough to disregard my warning and you actually see the movie, know that you will need therapy afterwards...you might even need ANGER MANAGEMENT.
